Official Release

Stenhouse has six NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) starts at Phoenix with an average starting position of 18.5 and average finishing position of 19.3.

The No. 3. One of the most iconic numbers in all of NASCAR. A number that fans adore and honor. The number that links a grandson to his Pop Pop forever.

This past weekend in Las Vegas didn't have the ending that Aric Almirola and the No. 43 Smithfield Ford team wanted. The 24th-place finish didn't reflect the speed that the Ford Fusion had, but the team isn't letting that get them down heading to Phoenix International Raceway.

Coming off of a solid finish in Atlanta, Burton and the No. 43 J. Streicher Team battled a tough race car in Las Vegas, finishing in the 17th position but earning him enough points to move into the Top-10 in the championship point standings.

It hasn't been the start to Brian Scott's rookie season in the Cup Series that he was hoping for, but the No. 44 Albertsons/Whitetail team is looking to turn that around this weekend in Phoenix.

Race weekend is around the corner and AJ Allmendinger’s first order of business is visiting Fry’s to sign autographs, take photos and participate in activities with NASCAR fans before racing his No. 47 Fry’s/SCOTT Products Chevrolet SS at Phoenix International Raceway (PIR) Sunday afternoon.

Joe Garone, president of Furniture Row Racing, has informed NASCAR it has withdrawn the appeal for a prerace infraction at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Reed has competed at Phoenix International Raceway (PIR) five times in the NASCAR XFIINTY Series. In this race last year, Reed finished 13th after starting 17th. In 2014, he earned 22nd- and 19th-place finishes in the spring and fall races, respectively. One of Reed’s first NASCAR XFINITY Series starts came at PIR in 2013, where he finished 15th.

The second leg of NASCAR’s Western Swing takes place this weekend at Phoenix International Raceway with the Good Sam 500. Here’s a look at how Ford has done at the one-mile facility since it began hosting NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races in 1988.

Six-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion, Jimmie Johnson, led a group of six Team Chevy drivers to the finish in his No. 48 Kobalt Chevrolet SS at the Kobalt 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the third round of the 2016 season. The start of the 400-mile race was delayed 26 minutes by a passing rain shower; and weather continued to be a challenge with gusty winds and sandstorms.
